Myopia Control in Eldon & Columbia, Missouri
At Family Focus Eyecare, we’re committed to protecting your child’s vision as they grow. Myopia, or nearsightedness, is becoming increasingly common, but with proper management, we can help slow its progression and safeguard your child’s eyesight.
How Myopia Control Can Benefit Your Child
Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, is a condition that causes distant objects to appear blurry. It typically develops during childhood and can worsen as your child grows. If left unmanaged, myopia can lead to serious eye health problems, including a higher risk of retinal detachment and glaucoma later in life. That’s why early intervention is crucial in slowing its progression.
Myopia Control We Offer at Family Focus Eyecare
We provide various myopia control options tailored to your child's needs:
-
EyeZen Lenses: Designed to reduce eye strain and support visual comfort while helping slow myopia progression.
-
Multifocal Contact Lenses: These lenses correct vision and help slow the progression of myopia.
-
Corneal Refractive Therapy (CRT): Worn overnight to reshape the cornea, CRT lenses provide clear vision during the day while controlling myopia progression.
Why Early Myopia Control Matters
Early intervention is crucial to slowing myopia’s progression. Without treatment, myopia can lead to severe eye conditions in adulthood, including cataracts, retinal detachment, and vision loss. Starting treatment early helps ensure your child’s eyes stay healthy.

Myopia control can benefit children as young as six years old. If your child’s myopia is progressing or you’re concerned about their eye health, contact us to schedule a consultation. We’ll assess their vision and recommend the best treatment plan to help protect their eyes.
